So, we're getting over winter. I live pretty North for a reasonable human being - not anything extreme - but winters are actually winters here. I've been having pretty intense moodiness that I have decided is partially due to stress and partially due to long nights and cold weather.

These are times that I want to do something expressive, something physical, something interesting - but I'm just too busy to do it. Also, some of the ideas I have are just not practical.

I mean - I have time right after the kids go to bed, but I also can't be too loud, and half the time I have stuff to write-up or grade.

I am looking forward to acting in a movie this summer, however - a psychological thriller - that is being written and produced by old friends of mine.

So, I have an essay in a book coming out in September and an acting gig in late May. I suppose I should release an album at some point! - but some of my ideas right now can only be performed. I need to find the art community here - the one that doesn't have $125 dinners. It's weird to me that I know more people in this town literally governing and bank-rolling the mainstream traditional "music community" than I do who do what I do. The closest to that would be some dup-step DJ's in a town an hour drive from here! The local composer is literally on vacation this year.
